I had the opposite problem. More than one of the best doctors I've been to wanted to do work on both C4/5 & 5/6, but the present one only wants to do ADR on C5/6, despite the fact that the 4/5 is already moderately compressed.
I wish we could get these specialists together and have them agree on something.
